Uhhh, what is not true in that statement? Palin did NOT help Angle in Nevada. Republicans would have voted for her no matter what they were so desperate to beat Reid. Independents might have broke for Angle, but Palin’s endorsement probably fired up more rats to get out and vote.
My criticisms of Palin do not mean I do not like the woman. Or that she couldn’t run the country better than Obama has done. I just know that she CANNOT win the general election. Period. Why is it so offensive to mention that small point. Every political analyst in this country says the same. Are they all part of a grand liberal media scheme? No. They study numbers and trends and they are usually pretty good.
I do fear that her ego may cause her to run third party. That will hurt our chances in 2012 and will hurt senate candidates all across the country.

Talk about a closed mind.

According to this chop-logic, the only reason candidates she DID endorse elsewhere around the country won only because of her endorsement, or in spite of it? I would love to hear your answer on this, unless you're of the belief that the only contest that should be used to judge her effective usefulness to candidates she endorses is explicitly Reid vs Angle.

Karl rove, is that you? This "analysis" is absurd from the ground up, and again does not reflect reality when taken into context of all races she endorsed specific candidates across the country. This type of reasoning does not reflect anything more that a deep seated dislike of either women in general or Mrs. Palin in particular, IMO. In any case, again, this does not square with the results we saw across the country in numerous races, and actually seems to parrot DNC/Liberal talking points, not to mention RINO Elitists.

I do not believe you are sincere with that statement, and I in fact do not believe you are being honest with us our yourself.

Arrogance to the nth degree. Why even bother having a primary, I suppose we may as well just consult you and have you declare the Republican nominee. Thank you for saving us all the time and effort by providing your divine guidance.
Every political analyst in this country says the same.
Interesting, I do believe that is either a blatant and outright falsehood on your part, or blinding ignorance as I've seen opinions to the contrary of your belief posted here on this forum in just the last 2 weeks if I'm not mistaken.

This is again absurd in the extreme. I would not put a 3rd party run out of the picture, but I would not consider it a run created out of "her ego", and to believe such seems to me to denote a predefined belief and attitude towards Mrs. Palin that reflects the thoughts someone who is likely a CINO and would not hesitate to vote for Romney or any other RINO simply to "win".
From my point of view, if the Republican party cannot nominate a solid conservative in 2012, such as Mrs. Palin, then they are no longer a viable alternative to the left/dems/marxists, and it will be time to put up a new party that represents conservatives in this country. The Republican party will render itself obsolete if they continue to be the "dem-lite" party, and starting a conservative party now is exactly what is called for, regardless of the outcome of the 2012 elections. You have to start somewhere, and this will be as good a time as any.
RINO's are not an option, and neither is the status quo.
My fear is we will end up having another RINO selected as the Republican nominee which will then necessitate several election cycles of democrat party dominance while the new conservative party displaces and eventually replaces the useless Republican party.
I'll ask you this. If Romney ends up being the Republican nominee, will you vote for him, vote for Obama, write in another candidate, or refuse to vote?
